Hi Guixers,

How would you approach writing a script that installs every Guix package 
exhaustively for your current revision?

I'm thinking of something similar to `all-packages` on PyPi but for every Guix 
package (the whole wide ๐ŸŒŽ๏ธ).

Perhaps you are inspired by this?

I'd run the list of all packages by guix size before attempting such shenanigans (untested):

```
$ guix package -A | cut -f 1 | sort -u | xargs guix size
```

Surely if there are outstanding questions that could be answered by installing all packages, they could be answered in another way?
